Junior and DT

We are still getting used to the new addition to the family.  Junior is no exception.  He seems to like having his little bro around, however, there are definitely times when he makes things challenging.  He's never shown any bad behavior toward DT, thankfully.  The problem is that there are times when he shows signs of regression, especially when he is tired or just after waking up from his nap.  When he sees DT in the moby, Junior sometimes gets envious and demands that he be carried too.  Of course it is nearly impossible for Mommy to carry both boys safely, so Junior resorts to throwing tantrums.  On the other hand, he seems to enjoy the big brother role by helping his little brother out whenever possible.  He'll fetch the pacifier for him and put blankets on him.  He finds toys that he thinks little bro might enjoy and places them carefully next to him.  He'll even alert Mommy that DT is crying if she happens to be asleep and unable to hear.  He doesn't mind if Mommy has to leave in the middle of the bedtime ritual to tend to DT.

It's hard not to compare Junior and DT.  Junior was a ravenous eater since the beginning.  He was always complaining that the milk wasn't coming out fast enough.  DT on the other hand often chokes if the milk comes out too fast and also stops eating after just one side.  In the first month DT slept much more and was barely ever awake.  Junior was able to stay up for hours even at less than a month old.  Junior was also born with his day/night mixed up, so he was a night owl for the first couple of weeks.  Junior was better at tummy time earlier than DT, but that is probably because we were more diligent about making him practice than we are with DT.

Both are pretty bald at 2 months old.  DT has a rounder face, bigger cheeks and a smaller mouth than Junior.

Junior loved his "baby crack" aka baby swing.  It was one of the only ways to get him to take a nap during his earlier months.  DT does not fall asleep well in the swing and most of the time cries to be taken out.

Both have had their fair share of poop explosions.  We took a picture of Junior's first poop bomb, but we won't post it since you can see a peek of his wee wee.  Here's DT's first major poop bomb.   Daddy was the unfortunate target.
